smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Anything new?

Find all the terminals and record them in HD and post a link on here so we can view it in slow mo. PM some of the people posting in this thread, they are willing to help.

We can't get started until we get this video.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

What's so hard about going to YouTube and just watching the videos of the terminals there? Do you realize you're asking other people to waste their time doing this for you?

Youtube videos are not slowed down, and many are not in HD. And you especially cannot watch them frame by frame.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

We've gone over this. There is no "Secret of Sandtrap." Get over it, move on, and finally do something more productive.

Do you guys remember the secret of sandtrap?

  • 07.08.2012 8:21 AM PDT

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

Do you guys remember the secret of sandtrap? And how bungie even said those hieroglyphs on sandtrap meant something?? Well I think I figured out how to decode it. I just need help.

It involves the terminals.

In the terminals, remember how some of the letters would change into a symbol, and then back again? Those symbols are the same ones in sandtrap. And I believe this is how to decode them.

For example, lets use the word "Bungie". Say the letter "i" changes to a forerunner...


I'll go ahead and stop you at Forerunner. Forerunners are Halo related. Halo belongs to Bungie. Halo has nothing to do with Bungie's new project.

Case closed.

Sorry, not trying to be an ass, I'm just trying to show why people shouldn't put time into this investigation and stick to the Geomancy.

Are we really going to do this all over again?

really?

Get at me

Even if it is something and ou figure it out, you're not really going to learn anything about Destiny.

Come on over to Moving Up for your primary help and Q&A source.

It's almost definitely not going to have anything to do with destiny, people are only making those links because of the timing. I mean say this was discovered during the GRD Helmet uproar, people would've assumed it's related to that. It's probably a small message from Bungie that we've only just uncovered, and I can honestly say I want to know what it is and I'd help if I could but sadly I don't have the necessary equipment or software.

I'll render videos for free. Just PM me. I subscribe to Bungie Pro and don't have anything better to use the minutes on.

There were leads to Destiny in ODST...
Wait, what?

90% of teens today would die if Myspace was completely destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.

Well I've got nothing going on this week, I could help translate.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Sorry dude, but there's no way Halo 3 would give us any clues to Destiny and if The Community can't find anything in 400 pages I think you're going on a wild goose chase.

  • 07.08.2012 9:18 PM PDT

Finding the secrets of Sandtrap? Definitely awesome.
Related to Destiny? Probably not going to happen.
Take that out of the topic title, because people are getting hung up on that. It's derailing the actual purpose of the thread, which is translating the symbols.

Unfortunately I don't have my copy of Halo 3 otherwise I'd record for you. But I hope someone else is able to help you out, this is a good idea.

the case of the geomancy has been closed for now, DeeJ said himself there is no secret code or anything. All they gave us were the symbols. in no way will we know what they are for until bungie comes out of the dark.

on the subject of the glyphs, they're just sideways numbers and letters. but if the method the OP thought of works, then by all means the secret has been found.

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5

Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

Could someone remind me about this easter egg and why it was so big. It was awhile ago but why were people so caught up in it.

On the Geomancy I'm guna call bs on... just knowing what the symbols were" is all we were supposed to get from that. I know there's more to them. That 7 set means something more I just haven't figured it out yet.

  • 07.08.2012 10:55 PM PDT

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

OP is fail. Just go onto YT and find the Terminal Vids, then just double click on the screen. It pauses it and moves it one frame.
